Abstract

The three dimensional environment of the cell is provided by surrounding extra-cellular matrix proteins, other cells and tissue. These create chemical and topographical cues to which the cell can react. The ability to control cell differentiation using material scaffolds will be the real test of tissue engineering. In order to achieve this a multidisciplinary approach with a firm focus on the cell is required. This programme plans to use nanotechnology to produce scaffolds with controlled nano-environments, and to use these scaffolds to present biologically relevant topographical cues to the cells.
